He first entered the limelight in 1968, when he won a music event in Spain called Benidorm International Song Festival. He went on to participate in various music contests and it was his performance at the 1970 Eurovision Song Contest that paved the way for his success in Europe, even though he finished four. Julio's single Un Canto A Galicia became a major hit in Germany, and he gained a loyal following in Italy with an Italian song titled "Se mi lasci non vale".
